      Oven Light Not Turning Off?

      Troubleshooting and Solutions

      If your oven light is not turning off, it can be both annoying and a sign of a malfunction. Here are some common reasons for this issue and steps to troubleshoot and fix it:

      Common Causes:

      1. Faulty Light Switch:

        • The switch that turns the oven light on and off might be stuck or defective.

      2. Issues with Door Switch:

        • The door switch, which turns the light off when the oven door is closed, might be malfunctioning.

      3. Wiring Issues:

        • There might be a short circuit or loose wiring causing the light to stay on.

      4. Defective Control Board:

      Troubleshooting Steps:

      1. Check the Light Switch:

        • Locate the light switch, usually found on the control panel or near the oven door.
        • Press the switch several times to see if it is stuck. If the light turns off, the switch might have been temporarily stuck.
        • If the switch does not respond, turn off the oven and unplug it from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker.
        • Use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the switch is faulty, replace it with a new one.

      2. Inspect the Door Switch:

        • The door switch detects when the oven door is closed and turns off the light.
        • Open and close the oven door several times to see if the light turns off. If the light stays on, the door switch might be faulty.
        • Turn off the power to the oven and unplug it.
        • Locate the door switch, usually found along the oven door frame.
        • Use a multimeter to test the door switch for continuity. If the door switch is defective, replace it.

      3. Check the Wiring and Connections:

        • Inspect the wiring connected to the light bulb, light switch, and door switch for any signs of damage or loose connections.
        • Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
        • Repair or replace any damaged wiring as necessary.

      4. Test the Control Board:

        • If the light switch and door switch are functioning correctly, the control board might be the issue.
        • Turn off the power to the oven and unplug it.
        • Access the control board, usually located behind the control panel or at the back of the oven.
        • Use a multimeter to test the control board for continuity. If it is faulty, consider having it repaired or replaced.
